You can press remote control buttons as many times as you can or long as you like or maybe till your fingers get sore but if the batteries are wrongly assembled or connected incorrectly there never will be any communication between the remote control device and your TV or radio....God is that TV and the remote control is YOU Black Africa...the infrared is the communication between YOU AND God ..you get the idea right? I have seen and heard well meaning "Men of God" pray and petition God to bless Africa for as long as I have lived but like they say in South Africa "dololo" (dololo means nothing, nada! Zilch)... Only violence, hunger, malnutrition, deadly epidemics, poverty seem to be spreading across the black African community.
Somebody must have stole our God or we are praying and petitioning Him or Her the wrong way....there are more churches or religious institutions per capita among black race than any other race today yet there are more unfulfilled and spiritually troubled souls than there are anywhere in the face of the earth....Most religious folks are just as frustrated as the rest of us with their "PRAYER REQUESTS RESPONSE RATE OR EFFICACY OF PRAYER INDEX)...this is like the measure of how many of our prayers are answered and how many are shelved...
In the privacy of our hearts we pray and we go through lives of quiet desperation when our prayers are ignored.... Its a common cycle in black lives yet we don't want find out why this is happening... Why so few of our prayers are answered...maybe I got too personal here but I would happy if there is anyone in my black community who claim a high prayer request response rate could step up and give advice... We can even challenge other races for prayer request response competition and be like " Let's see whose prayers get answered suckers!"
Don't even want to say anything about preachers in our communities who monitize worship and prayer.
Since this community is about practical actionable ideas I got to ask;
So now what's the strategy? What do we do so we can experience God in a productive way not the "TYPE AMEN WAY"
Random: what do you think was the prayer request response rate of traditional ancestral worship?

The Strategy.... Spirituality, Metaphysics part 1; : Who stole our God?

Man is an ungrateful and existentially nihilistic being. We try to rationalise life and give it meaning during when it suits us. We rebuke God and abandon him for not coming to our aid promptly. We make innumerable prayer requests and then throw in the towel when the timeline we have given God expires. We rationalise that science has all the answers and there is no place for God in our existence. Even if man were to have all his prayer requests answered on a scale of 10/10, man would do something perverse out of sheer ingratitude to prove that he is man. Our words, our actions and our tantrums have catapulted God light years away from us.
ReplyDeleteThanks but how would you respond to my last question? Would our indigenous religion get us into better connectedness with God?
Deletei think the problem can be solved easily. African Unity. just like Kwame Nkrumah wrote in his book, if we put our resources together we stand a better chance of our problems being solved. How can we adore a God that the white man introduced to us in order to take our minerals, land etc. Nobody can hate you that much but still show you the route to GOD (show you a way to the promised land)

Deletethe love of money is the death of us. The whites would never allow Afrikan unity, never. They brought us this god so that we focus wholly on him and forget how we did things

ReplyDeleteAfrikan Spirituality is the infrared between us and our God. re sotleile tjena hobane re matha ka mora balimo ba sa re tsebeng. we have demonised our ancestors and glorified alien ancestors
sad but true, we running around looking for salvation yet our problems are created by the same people who we look salvation from. if we can cut the capitalism models and go for socialist way of doing things, i forsee a batter future for Africa and Africans
